This is the surgical removal
of excess or unequal vaginal lips to restore to what is considered
acceptable to the woman.
It is usually done on the inner
lips, but can be done on the outer lips, if appropriate.
Many women are born with large or unequal labia, while others
develop this condition with childbirth or age.
Most often, ladies request labial reduction surgery because
they are not satisfied with the larger size of their inner
lips (labia minora), which often protrudes outside
the outer lips (labial majora). They may find this embarrassing,
especially as it frequently becomes noticeable with
tight underwear or sport or swimming wears. In some others,
the excess skin protrusion can result in constant
irritation with tight pants or jeans or cause discomfort
when engaging in sports or other physical activities. For
some others, it simply gets in the way during sexual
intercourse. Labia reduction is a simple and reasonably
safe solution for these problems.
After The Procedure
You should expect some swelling and discomfort following
the procedure. Following discharge from hospital you will
be taken back home if you live locally, or your hotel to
begin your recovery period. You will have sutures that may
need to be removed if they are not dissolvable. Your surgeon
will advise you about this also. Most patients notice a significant
improvement in the bruising and swelling after the first
two weeks but it can take some time for everything to settle
completely. You will want to book about 1 to 2 weeks off
work.
